Gone for good - By Tomi Ganiyu

My best friend was sick with cancer.

I sat in the lobby waiting for a miracle to happen.

I knew she was fighting, she was in pain. 

I joined in the battle, praying for her. 

Then the doctor came and spoke those words. 

Those words, the ones we dread the most. 

She lost the battle, cancer won. 

It stopped her heart and now she’s gone. 

I opened my mouth, no words came. 

I closed my eyes and opened them.

The tears I cried burnt my cheeks. 

She was gone and gone for good.
